Looks great!

Me again :) Black bamboo arrived today(Thursday),already over 6' tall! The stalks are small but already are black colored,this was a great deal (esp)if you look at what other sellers offer and their prices. Look forward to the pics. I use to have some P. nigra that a friend gave me. Kept in a large ...

I'm surprised the horses are eating them. I knew the goats would. The animals are a little easier than some of the palms.

It's been getting warm here too. Then we get a little dip in the temps.

It's like once the spring excitement builds it gets setback.

Dean W.

Okay, let me know when you'll be down. Will have a heck of a time digging though.

Dean W.

Glad it's warming up for you, Erik.

Looks like you invested quite a bit in these palms.

Dean W.

I enjoyed looking at your pics, Barb. It's good to know it's getting warmer.

Dean W.

Hey Lori,

How many cycads do you carry and how big is your greenhouse? I think I counted 13 on your web page.

To bad were not closer I would give them to you.

Dean W.

Hello, Dean I see you posted this almost a month ago and I hope I'm not too late but don't throw away your cycad. Just cut off the leaves and let it rest, and more than likely it will throw a new set of leaves this summer. I have had cycads go dormant for up to three years and then start flushing ...

Nice seeing there progress. I have a few seeds I'm looking forward to seeing grow myself. I'm with Paul on the sand thing. I think it's a great ideal.

Dean W.

That's amazingly fast germinating. I hope mine do the same.

Good work on the citrus.

Dean W.

Any up to date pics? They look great. Did you use sand to plant them in? Looks like it.

Dean W.

Cool, thanks for sharing the pics.

Dean W.

Nice selection, good luck with your bamboo.

Dean W.

Great pics Jim!

Dean W.

Barb,

Thanks for the help. I'll put a little perlite on top of them. They had a little mold problem and I treated with peroxide 3%.

Dean W.

Closed.

Dean W.

They went into containers yesterday.

Dean W.

Nice greenhouse!

Dean W.

Erik,

I can understand your loss. Out of the palms I have planted only the Sabal minor and Trachys have survived. I should plant some other hardy ones too.

Dean W.

That was.....fast.

Dean W.

Cameron, good luck with the seeds. The heat tape looks great.

Dean W.

Hey Erik, thinking of moving? South of Austin is okay I guess maybe down by the coast or south Texas.

Dean W.

I used a pair of pliers to hold the seed then sanded.

Dean W.

Wow, that's a lot of seeds, Cameron. What kind are they?

Dean W.

Cool, Jay! I noticed you were wearing a respirator. Keep some of the fumes down, huh?

We used to have a person in downtown Austin that would do art like that. It's a nice talent. Thanks for sharing.

Dean W.

That link makes it quite clear.

I'm an amateur.

Dean W.

Thank you, Cameron! Wow! No wonder I couldn't find it. It almost all shell. I even used a hack saw to a point. Stopped short of cutting one in half.

Dean W.

Erik, I'm wishing you the best of luck. It looks as though you all got hit with some really low weather for your area. Hopefully it's just the fronds and not much more.

Dean W.

Hello gang, yesterday I got some Queen palm and Butia seeds. I soaked for a day in room temp water. Today I gently filed the seeds outer shell. I couldn't find any white inside the Queen Palms and didn't file the Butia. I will soak them several days. Queen Palms seeds... http://i232.photobucket.com ...

It doesn't get cold enough here to freeze the soil. But the ones planted in the ground had the same problem so disregard (they get water from the side of the house).

Dean W.

I guess I'll put them in pots first and grow them out. Then I'll find a place in the yard. Maybe replace the sagos.

Dean W.

Neat, I guess I'll have to try the sand paper method. I have some Queen palm seeds I'm dealing with now.

Dean W.

Okay, I'll get more pics as it warms. These were just palms within a short driving distance. I'll keep an eye out for other as well.

Dean W.

Thanks Aaron I'll be careful not to damage them then.

Thanks Tim, that's what I was wondering. Any ideal how deep the tap roots might be? 12inches?

Dean W.

TimMAz6 wrote:hope that beauty Sago pulls through! How cold was it?

Hey Tim, it was 15F. They pulled through last year too.

Erik, I'll just have to cut off the burned foliage. Just a temporary set back.

Dean W.

I agree with, Jim. I would like to see some more pics...

Dean W.

Bill, your yard looked great. What kind of bananas are those?

Paul, nice deck looks like you have quite a few plants there.

Dean W.

Never tried Tree Ferns before. Sounds interesting!

Dean W.

Thanks Paul...
